Abstract

This paper aims to explore feminism and feminist perspectives in the novels of Tehmina Durrani’s My Feudal Lord and Blasphemy. Patriarchy continues to increase on the battered and strangle lives of innocent girls, fearful loveless wives. Patriarchy in the form of male domination has apparent itself even in the civilized societies and is infesting it. To view its positive aspect there are women writers like Tehmina Durrani and her writing make awareness in Muslim society. This paper tried to explore that Durrani as a feminist author. She contributes to empower women. (particular in Pakistan) She fights against gender stereotypes and routine behaviors. Tehmina Durrani’s work gives a powerful analysis of patriarchal power stress to all-encompassing questions faced by women in South Asia. She expertly interlinks personal struggle with broader societal observations, offering readers a heart-rending reflection on the complex relationship between gender equality and religious misrepresentation, sexual harassment. An analysis goes beyond the absolute breakdown of oppression to explore resilience.
